TELLO

I had the same problem with video until I went back to the store where I bought my drone. The owner was knowledgeable (more than Tello Cust Serv) and had the same issue from his iPhone until he went into settings and calibrated my drone mid-flight. Then video recording started to work normally. On my iPhone (X Max) it then worked without any further calibration. This should be fixed or at least mentioned in the manual. And tech support should know about this at the least! Even better would be a software update that would calibrate automatically, to relieve us of all this frustration. The drone itself is awesome for the size and price.

Using my Xs on the latest iOS, Tello Firmware and app update. My Tello loses connection and hovers 9/10 when I finish a video. I’ve tested different bitrates and quality as well as short videos, deleting the app, factory resetting the Tello... just about everything I can. Ryze support chat told me it was possibly because the iPhone Xs and Xr aren’t technically supported but the X is. I’m sick of there being a break in communication almost every time I end a recording! Please update the app and resolve this or let folks know what the issue is, I could still return the Tello if this is a hardware compatibility issue. Other than this major issue(the main reason I bought it was for short videos) the drone is really great. Incredibly smooth flight, love the MFi controller support, great battery life for how well it performs, and the app works pretty well in most aspects.

It’s a fun little entry-level drone and great for the price. The app is pretty straightforward and easy to use. There seems to be a decent amount of documentation to get you using the drone right away. Something that would be awesome is a self timer function for taking photos. It’s awkward to hold the phone and tap while trying to pose for a selfie. Either that or expose the camera functions in the SDK for DroneBlocks users.

My Mavic doesn’t fly well in my apartment so I bought the Tello as a trainer. I couldn’t be happier. Well of course I could, but I’m more than satisfied. I’m working on learning to fly with just the “instrument” view. I have also programmed it with SCRATCH. That would be even more fun if some input was available from the flyer, altitude, impact, temperature, battery level, anything. The biggest improvement for me would be noise level reduction, but I don’t know that there’s much they can do there.

The drone flies nicely and the real time video is superb. However the app only functions decently on my iPhone running 13.2.3 It only be viewed in one screen orientation, with the screen button on the right. When running on the mini 4 on 13.2.3 the save to photos feature is totally inoperative, the “send” icon for selected photos does not appear on the screen and the app frequently freezes necessitating a system restart. The display appears broken up and incomplete. I hope they fix this.
